CHICAGO CHEEK.


The Chicago people, If their papers ar,
t. be regarded as speaking for them, ar,
not wise in attempting to drive the peopl,
of the Illinois valley into consenting tc
leir drainage schemes by bullying anG
abuse. The situation of Chicago is nc
doubt desperate one. Already her enOr
nous sewage not only communicates the air
she breathes and the water she drini S,
spreading malaria ard circulating the
germs Of dlphtheria, scarlet fever and
other pestiential disorders" as one of her
journals admits, but year by year, nay
month 10y month indeed, the evil increases,
so that, unless something is speedily done
it will be only question Of time, and a
very short time AT that, when Chicago will
become as uninhabitable as some of the
noted malarial districts of Italy or Central
America. But as there are more ways to
kill Il dog than to choke him on butter, so
there are better ways for Chicago TO get
rld OF her sewage than to empty 1t en-
nasse on n limited stretch of the Des
PLANES and Illinois valley.
True, Chicago talks big-yery big. She
tickles the people down the Illinois valley
with talk of II huge canal, 200 feet wide
and Is feet deep, with current sufficient
to bring enough pure lake water" this
way to raise the illinois river permanently
four feet at La Sale, three at Henry, &c.
a project to which, in spite of "a good many
drawbacks, the people of the valley, on ac.
count of many obvious advantages, would
raise no very serious objection But when
Chicago goes to the Illinois Legislature TO
get the necessary grant of power to carry
)ut this magnificent scheme, from under
he cover of the bills she lays before that
body for such purpose, she let's protrude
!uge cloven boot. In short the project of
grand ship canal, 200 feet wide, &c, is
rarely alluded TO- and then only as remote
possibility In those bills; but the naked .
cheme is disclosed of draining all the ac a
and rapidly Duplicating nasti
esS OF the Chicago river, not only by
leans of greatly increased pumping works d
Bridgeport but by u lateral conduit or Il
'eder or two besides, into the canal, u
nd as the present canal, widened al
nd deepened as it has been by the "
leep cut enterprise years ago,i is not nearly &C
sufficient capacity to carry off the pro ii
osed enormously increased deluge of filth OF
over is demanded greatly to enlarge the la
opacity of the canal for the dirty work by b
is ing Its banks. er
Now any such project the people of the GO
'lley southwest of Chicago see is simply oh
famous. The canal at best moves with SD
current of mile or 80 an hour. pellute its
waters with all this proposed accumula. pl

The report comes from Washington
that there is trouble in the cabinet be-

Secretary Bayard, due to differences
arising from the discussion of the fisk
cries question, and it Ia stated that
when Mr.. Cleveland returns Secretary
Bayard will lay the matter before
him, and will resign unless the Presi-
dent iustains his position. There il
good reason to believe, however, that
the alleged trouble does not exist in

chargeable to liquor in one form or
another. The county received but .
small share of the license from the So
looms, and localities where saloons hGd
been driven out were taxed for their
share of the costs. This is how the
cities and towns derive so much faan-
cial support from the saloons.
They grant the license and receive
the money, while the entire county is
expected to bear the burden of the
prosecution of criminals made by the
saloons.
Just here the question of the saloon
ceases to be moral one, and becomes
one of financial economy. Isit better
to license saloons, receiving from them
one, or ten, or twenty thousand dol
lars a year, and force that much cost
on the county in criminal cases, OF
cut off this source of revenue" and
at the same time cut down the ex
penses by stopping the business Of the
criminal courts? This is not q moral
question, but one of business. aid is

Business men 60 to the polls in
their right senses, and their eyes fully

against the sale of whisky. They
know, as business men and taxpayers,
that the sum heretofore paid by the
saloons must be Offset, but they know
also, that the sums paid out for cost,
In criminal cases must be offset, and
they believe that one will Offset TIT

LOCAL OPTION AND REEVE
NUE..

Now that local option is becoming
popular, and sweeping the gin mills as
on tidal wave, the whisky fellows
are getting very anxious about the
"revenue," and gnashing their teeth
in perfect parOxysm of rage. The
saloons have paid into the treasures
of the towns and counties vast sums,
they say, land where is it all coming
from now" "The licenses more than
paid the current expenses OF the Towns,
and now the burdens must be borne
on the shoulders of the poor. over
burdened taxpayers.
This is their side of the matter.
La getting over this matter of reve-
nue., the other side must be measured
as well. The saloons pay large
sums into the town treasures, pay
ing the expenses of the town, or
some of them, at least. The license
men stop here, and do not seem to re-
alize further than this. The great
cost Of the whisky business is borne by
the county in the settlement of fees
! in criminal cases. The writer was a
member of grand jury in a Missouri
county, where, out of total of TWEEN
ty-two cases investigated, nearly three,
fourths Of them, and two-thirds of the
